• Me gustan los gatos.... Cuando me encuentro con un gato, le digo: "¡Pobre gatito!", me agacho y le hago cosquillas en un lado de la cabeza; y el gato levanta la cola de forma rígida y férrea, arquea el lomo y se limpia la nariz contra mis pantalones; y todo es dulzura y paz.

• Just let matters slide. How much better to accept each sweet drop of the honey that was Time, than to stoop to the vulgarity latent in every decision. However grave the matter at hand might be, if one neglected it for long enough, the act of neglect itself would begin to affect the situation, and someone else would emerge as an ally. Such was Count Ayakura's version of political theory.

• There are more stars known to exist right now than the total number of all the grains of sand on every beach in the entire world. With those kinds of odds, it would seem downright naive for someone to go to a beach in, say, some out-of-the-way inlet in Baffin Bay, stoop to pick up only one tiny grain of sand, and declare that that grain alone was the only place where life could exist.

• Captura de Nankín La lluvia y la tormenta de viento azules y amarillas se abaten sobre la montaña de Chung the bell mientras un millón de tropas sin par cruzan el Gran Río. El pico es un dragón enroscado, la ciudad un tigre agazapado más deslumbrante que antes. El cielo gira y la tierra está patas arriba. Estamos eufóricos, pero debemos usar nuestro coraje para perseguir al enemigo desesperado. No debemos rebajarnos a la fama como el señor Hsiang Yu. Si el cielo tiene sentimientos, envejecerá y verá cómo nuestros mares se convierten en campos de moras.

• [I have seen] workers in whom certain morbid affections gradually arise from some particular posture of the limbs or unnatural movements of the body called for while they work. Such are the workers who all day stand or sit, stoop or are bent double, who run or ride or exercise their bodies in all sorts of [excess] ways. ... the harvest of diseases reaped by certain workers ... [from] irregular motions in unnatural postures of the body.

• ¡Basta de sueños! No se burlen más
  De los corazones agobiados de los hombres
  No sobre la nube, sino sobre la roca
  Construye de nuevo tu fe;
  No vuelvas a recorrer los reinos del aire,
  Inclínate hacia los arroyos de las cañadas;
  Tu esperanza se parecía demasiado a la desesperación:
  Basta, basta de sueños.
